WASHINGTON–With no end in sight to the Democratic presidential contest, all eyes are on the superdelegates, the politicians and party leaders who may decide the contest’s outcome. They are being courted, fawned over, and pressured to publicly commit to their favorite candidate.

But don’t tell that to Rep. Ike Skelton, who is the last remaining undecided Democratic member of Congress from Missouri.

Yes, Skelton’s gotten the calls—from ex-President Bill Clinton, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y, and any number of Sen. Barack Obama supporters—urging him to endorse in this hard-fought nail-biter.

“A week doesn’t go by that I don’t mention it to him,” Rep. William Lacy Clay Jr., D-St.Louis, said of his efforts to lobby Skelton. Clay long ago endorsed Obama.

But if the pressure is on for him to decide, Skelton doesn’t show it.

“What else do you want to talk about?” he asked coyly when a reporter pressed him about his presidential preference.

What are his opinions about the two candidates?

“Both outstanding Americans,” said the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.

Why hasn’t he publicly endorsed? “I don’t have to answer why.”

When might he decide? “I don’t know.”

Is he worried about the prospect of a brokered convention?

“Brokered conventions are the history of America,” he quipped, noting that he was part of the 1960 convention where John F. Kennedy won out to his favored contender, Sen. Stuart Symington, D-Mo.

“Nobody is ever going to lobby Ike Skelton to or from anything,” said Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Kansas City, a Clinton backer who said he has talked frequently with Skelton about the presidential contest. “He is a man who knows what he’s going to do and keeps it close to his vest.”
